ORLANDO, Fla. – There’s nothing all that special about Citrus Bowl Stadium, but Joe Thomas was still having a hard time tearing himself away from the old place Monday.
The senior left tackle took his sweet time leaving the field following the University of Wisconsin football team’s 17-14 victory over Arkansas, then was among the final Badgers to exit the locker room.
“I didn’t want to leave,” Thomas said. “I wanted to savor every last minute that I had.”
